The City We Became

Description

\n\nThree-time Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N.K. Jemisin crafts her most incredible novel yet, a \”glorious\” story of culture, identity, magic, and myths in contemporary New York City.\n\n \nIn Manhattan, a young grad student gets off the train and realizes he doesn’t remember who he is, where he’s from, or even his own name. But he can sense the beating heart of the city, see its history, and feel its power.\n \nIn the Bronx, a Lenape gallery director discovers strange graffiti scattered throughout the city, so beautiful and powerful it’s as if the paint is literally calling to her.\n \nIn Brooklyn, a politician and mother finds she can hear the songs of her city, pulsing to the beat of her Louboutin heels.\n \nAnd they’re not the only ones.\n \nEvery great city has a soul. Some are ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York? She’s got six.\n\n\nFor more from N. K.
